Lions RB Mikel Leshoure, recovering from last August's torn Achilles, expects to be ready to go for the 2012 season-opener. "It's building up slowly and I can definitely see progress," Leshoure said. "My body feels good. I'm going to turn it up a little bit more a month or so from now, but my body feels good. I'm getting my strength back in my calf muscle and my Achilles. I'm feeling pretty good when I run; I have no soreness or anything like that – no pain. I'm not full-speed sprints or cuts or anything like that, but just jogging in laps and half-gassers across the field and stuff." Leshoure won't do much -- if anything -- during OTAs, and he won't commit to being ready for training camp. Expect Detroit to ease him into game action early this season, but Leshoure could be a major fantasy factor in the 2nd half.
